Have you noticed a lack of sympathy for Asians from other minorities?

Asked by Demosthenes (14945points) March 22nd, 2021

In light of the rise in anti-Asian racism?

I’ve heard (and this is very anecdotal obviously, but I’ve come across it multiple times now) some minorities essentially having the reaction of “well, now they know what it’s like”. As if Asians had taken advantage of their “model minority” status to look down on other minorities and pass as white, but these attacks have reminded them that they’re just like any other non-white group. There’s a lack of sympathy.

Have you noticed this as well? Do you agree with the reasoning?
